Para la capacitación en el Este y el Cuerno de África, estos temas incluyeron la caza furtiva de vida silvestre, el terrorismo y los conflictos pastoralistas. La Academia TCA en el este y el Cuerno de África fue organizada por Armas bajo Control y Pace University, con el apoyo financiero de la Facilidad de Fideicomiso de las Naciones Unidas para la Cooperación en la Regulación de Armas (UNSCAR).

Primer Taller de la Academia TCA
20-23 de junio de 2016 | Lake Nakuru Lodge, Kenia La primera sesión de capacitación de la Academia TCA se llevó a cabo del 20 al 23 de junio, después de cuatro días de aprendizaje en profundidad sobre el Tratado de Comercio de Armas. Esta primera sesión se enfocó en los primeros artículos del TCA, enfatizando el alcance del tratado así como los artículos 6 y 7. Los grupos de discusión, las tareas y los ejercicios participativos permitieron a los participantes formular preguntas y relacionar las obligaciones del TCA con su contexto nacional. El taller también identificó los vínculos entre la proliferación de armas pequeñas, el TCA y la caza furtiva de vida silvestre, un problema grave en muchas naciones del Este de África, incluida Kenia. La capacitación se llevó a cabo en Lake Nakuru Lodge, ubicado en el Parque Nacional Nakuru, y los participantes fueron informados por guardaparques involucrados en actividades contra la caza furtiva y proyectos locales de consolidación de la paz.
